A$AP Rocky has dropped a fresh track titled "Highjack," featuring Jessica Pratt. 

The song is co-produced by Greg Kurstin, Hitkidd, Jordan Patrick, and Zach Fogarty. Background vocals are provided by Creed B Good and Jon Batiste.

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, A$AP Rocky shared his experience of working with Pratt and Batiste. "I just love alternative," Rocky said. 

"I love just different sounds and whatnot. [Jessica Pratt] kind of gave me this kind of Portishead meets Stevie Nicks vibe a little bit. Right. So I always fucked with her as a artist, and so I figured it was necessary to get her, Jon Batiste on this one and kind of make it feel soulful to bring it on home in the outro."

Earlier this year, Jessica Pratt released her album "Here in the Pitch," her first since 2019’s "Quiet Signs." In the interim, Troye Sivan sampled Pratt’s single "Back, Baby" from her "On Your Own Love Again" album for his song "Can’t Go Back, Baby." 

Pratt commented on the sample, noting, "'Back, Baby' was recorded to a cassette tape in a tiny bedroom 10 years ago, so it was really unexpected to get a request from him. Like everybody else, I find Troye to be irresistible."

A$AP Rocky is also gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated album "Don’t Be Dumb," set to drop on August 30. 

"Highjack" is the latest in a series of recent releases from Rocky, following tracks like "D.M.B.," "Shittin’ Me," "Same Problems?," and "Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n)."
